getaways are sometimes necessary most especially if you wanted to unwind and
recuperate positive vibes and acquire ideas for a better you or maybe a time to
be yourself.

Yes,
the sweet escaped I had in Laiya, San Juan, Batangas probably one of my extravagant
and yet memorable and remarkable getaways last year (2012). The girlfriends –
Kae, Yani and Jerica - and I decided to have a weekend escape from a busy and
chaotic metro and have a bonding session to a cosy and serene ambiance of
Acuatico Beach Resort.

Sunday.
Meet-up time: 7:30am. Meeting Place: Alphaland Magallanes. Everyone was
excited. It was our first time to be together – just the four of us – in a
weekend getaway, far from our loved ones and special someone. To be in a place yet
unknown to us, yes we’ve heard and read so much about Acuatico Beach Resort but
the location was quite strange to us. Good thing, Tito Danny, Yani’s dad, was
so kind to accompany and even drove us going to the place with infinite beauty
and surprises.

After
2.5 hours’ drive, a breath-taking view welcomed us that looks like the resort
was reserved for us. Not crowded. Relax. Tranquil. Infinity Pool. Beach.
Everything was appealing to our very eyes, a place where you can truly let
everything go and have some great and pleasurable moments.

While
waiting for our 12nn check-in time, we’d decided to have an early lunch at the
resort’s restaurant (by the way, it is not allowed to bring your own food.
Buffet lunch & Dinner is available for P560 per person) while enjoying the scenic view.

And
did some photo ops…- well, in some cases I do hate having a camera simply
because I’m out of the picture – with these gorgeous and fashionably classy
ladies.

my loves!

12nn.
Check-in. We got the Terrazza for our an overnight accommodation for P13,130. Good
for 4 persons. This room has two queen-sized beds and has its own view deck on
the 2nd floor, has an LCD TV, a telephone and a bathroom at the ground floor.

It’s
time for another batch of photo ops in our room. Camwhoring. What I liked the
most here was that the place was limited for a few numbers of people so privacy
is not an issue.

After
fixing ourselves and had our bikinis on, time for more photo ops. Ha-ha. By the
help of tripod and remote control, here we go again.

The
girls didn’t stop to soak under the sun as they also had Kayak-ing even though
it was so freaking hot because Mr. Sunshine was shining so brightly, thanks to sunscreens/sunblocks
that protects our skin from the harmful sun rays, because of them there’s nothing
to worry about. By the way, it was 1:30 in the afternoon when they decided to
this, still, the big smile is on their faces.

once again! Girls having fun under the sun. So love the sunshine that looks like it's also having fun with us and enjoying our company.

hi there!

Afterwards,
we need to go back to our room, ordered complimentary hot teas, watched TV and
took some rest to be prepared on another round of Kayak-ing at 5pm, dinner and
Girl’s Talk ‘til dawn and perhaps some margarita to add a little spice to our weekend
bonding.

what a relaxing getaway!

Sadly,
Chloe’s (my Nikon D5100) battery was emptied. I left the extra battery and charger
in our home. On the other note, if you wanted to be in this wonderful resort, just visit
their website here and consider booking this weekend or anytime soon and you’ll
definitely enjoy these awesomeness.
